    make - makefile problem

    hi all

    i have installed knoppix on a terminator box and it's a good distro

    i want to mess up with the install

    i'have a problem with the make command (dont work at all)

    root@tester:/usr/src# make
    make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.


    i have crossed google on various languages to find a makefile for make to copy or download but the one i've found is buggy

    and for the people asking for the same prob, i've not seen solution

    at the man make command, they say the user has to code the file

    does some have that file to share or know some way to generate it automaticly ?

    thanks

    I do not undersand you here. To 'mess up' is usually not a good thing. If you want to install Knoppix to the hdd then simply do this:

    sudo knoppix-installer

    If that's not what you wanted to do please post again.

    yes mess up will be bad for the kernel == i want to unustalll kde & install gnome and unustall a lot of modules then unstall a lot of other ones then recompile
    so i think i'll destroy the kernell

    my prob is at the make command
    i can't use it do the makefile the system doesn't find

    how can i get that file ?

    thanks

    make by default looks for Makefile. You don't make things out of nothing. What do you want to 'make' ?

    You can remove almost all of KDE like so:

    apt-get remove libarts1

    Use Synaptic to select the Gnome packages you want.
    and unustall a lot of modules then unstall a lot of other ones then recompile
    Again, use Synaptic to ease the selection of packages to be removed. Be careful though unless you knowwhat you're doing.

    so i think i'll destroy the kernell

    i can't use it do the makefile the system doesn't find

    If you want to rebuild the kernel I would suggest trying the Debian way which is quite simple. Here's a quick and easy howto:

    Makefile comes with kernel-source package and gives instructions to make program how to compile the kernel.

    There's some good sites where you can get help in compiling the kernel, too:
    http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html
    http://www.desktop-linux.net/debkernel.htm

    lol

    thanks for the links

    i was wrong with the makefile

    it's in the rep /usr/src/linux when you do the right stuff (i didn't) lol

    i have updated to kernel-source-2.6.3

    the comp have rebooted without any bug

    how can i verify the kernel current version running ?

    thanks all

    make command works fine now

    even if :
    root@sony_vaio:~# uname -r
    2.4.24-xfs
    it seems the kernel was not updated

    anyway it's a good begin
